SharePoint in Review 2012: Planned Deployments, Information Access Still Key (CMSWire)
What would a year in information management be without SharePoint — any kind of SharePoint? We have to be careful to clarify now as talking about SharePoint could involve any one of four groups of products. In other words, we could be talking about the 2003 version — and yes it is still being used — the 2007 and 2010 version, and SharePoint 2013. Continue reading this entry »

How Clifford Chance Bet on SharePoint for Enterprise Content Management (CMSWire)
In the legal community, it’s well known that Clifford Chance, one of the world’s largest law firms, has been undergoing a major shift towards using SharePoint as the firm’s Enterprise CMS. At the SharePoint Conference last week, I attended the session dedicated to exploring this implementation in more detail. This transition has been a couple of years in the running, and we’ve previously learned a bit of the transformation through various interviews and other bits from Microsoft. The session was delivered by Charlie Winterbottom, Solution Architect at Clifford Chance, and Alex O’Donnell, a SharePoint Consultant at Microsoft’s internal services team.

Focusing Too Much on the Future (AIIM)
When my company is nearing a new product release, there’s this funny little dance between product management and the sales organization that is fairly common within product and service companies. When the product team needs to share some forward-thinking information on an upcoming release, they go to great length to bridle the level of anticipation, wary of giving out too much information before the product is ready to go to market. Why? Because the (very healthy) habit of sales is to quickly incorporate what they understand about the future roadmap into their sales pitch. Customers want to understand the roadmap — they want the latest, greatest version. And if you’ve never worked in or alongside sales, you understand that if you start talking future-state to customers, they want to buy that future state — and not the products or services available today. Understanding all of that, it’s no wonder my product team is very careful about the timing of our releases, and both internal and external communications. Continue reading this entry »

Office365 for the Enterprise, SharePoint in the Cloud at TECHED2012 (CMSWire)
With broad adoption of SharePoint 2010 coupled with the business need to drive down costs and management overhead of information technology, many organizations are looking more closely at hosted versions of SharePoint — both private and public cloud offerings, as well as Office365. Questions about the service popped up again this weekend while I was presenting at SharePoint Saturday Orlando (#SPSORL) before making my way over to #TechEd2012 across town. So I was very interested in the session on Office365 for the Enterprise, presented by one of Microsoft’s service managers. Continue reading this entry »

SharePoint Deployment: The Final Chapter (ZDNet)
Microsoft likes to imply that you can have SharePoint up and running in an afternoon. You can’t. If you try, you’ll probably manage it, but you’ll be starting down a path from which it will become ever more difficult to return to the beginning and get it right. To get where we are now, we have been on a huge learning curve. It has taken around eight months of hard work, but I’m convinced it was the right thing to do, and the work will stand us in good stead as the project progresses. Continue reading this entry »
